And interesting thing with the Destroy me more, the way he says it, it also sounds like "Please run away." The PD on the song asked Taemin if he could say it more clearly but Taemin wanted his listeners to hear it as "Please run away" first and then read it in the lyrics as "Destroy me more".

I agree about the superm thing and I think it due to the fact he’s been in the industry since he was 14 and he’s 27 now! side note many people think since he’s been the the industry so long he’s “old”?!?😭 like half of exo and red velvets Irene are 30 are about to turn 30 but since they debuted way later they seem younger??

how the heck are half of Exo and Red Velvet 30 or about to turn 30? In EXO, only one member (Xiumin) turned 30 just this year lol. Most of the others are 26-28 y/o. And in Red Velvet 4 out of the 5 members are younger than Taemin!

[@leleswrlds]

YesNelle I know I’m saying that half of exo are older then him and about to turn 30 soon ( before him) because they are and I specifically said Irene of red velvet not the entirety of red velvet

[@blythegraham9446]

what you said doesn't sound shady at all dizz. there's a reason why taemin was picked as the first ever soloist from SM entertainment, despite all the talented, experienced artists signed under SM. and this was when debuting soloists wasn't even a thing back then (it's so common now). taemin has built his own identity, and there's nothing better than seeing a true artist shine as their true self. also, a lot of his work centers around subtle details, which isn't really the focus of superm. and as an end note, shinee/taemin are always different once on stage- his presence in superm mvs is very different to his presence in superm live stages.

As a Shawol, I really don't mind him joining with SuperM coz I am seeing a different Taemin he is like usual. Like what he said, it's totally new to him especially the dance performance coz he wasn't used to that kind of style, but if he didn't say so we wouldn't know coz he still killed it. It's kinda watching a brand new Taemin especially those who just knew Kpop and who thought that he was kinda old idol where in fact he is younger than those of some 3rd gen kpop idols, many new fans noticed him in SuperM and I'm glad coz they found a gold gem in him.

[@jae8329]

Khadija: ". . . And this reminded me of *Move* & *Want* too. . ." Fun fact: all 3 songs are done by the same choreographer, *Koharu Sugawara.* She's an amazing dancer & a really good friend of Taemin. She did his *Sayonara Hitori* (2016), *Flame of Love* (2017), *Move* (2017), *SHINee's Good Evening* (2018), *Want* (2019), & *Criminal* (2020). Taemin has definitely been heavily inspired by Koharu which you can really see in his *Artistic Groove* choreo from the *Want* album. *Artistic Groove* is the first released full song Taemin choreographed all by himself!

[@blythegraham9446]

i watched this mv on a huge 4k tv screen. and let me tell you it's a different experience.

[@joaniemaloney]

Oh, absolutely. I totally agree - he isn't able to showcase his best in SuperM. the group is a lot of fun and I feel the chemistry, but when you look at the music to what Taemin has done as a soloist and as SHINee, it's incomparable. and I think there would be fans of the other members' respective groups that would agree as well. glad you finally reacted to Criminal! it's really been a while! this comeback deserved so, so much more love than a few days of live stages. I cannot wait for Act 2 and the inevitable SHINee comeback!

[@symon9847]

Taemin doesn't know how to make a bad song.

[@Miyabi-bk2vi]

Dizz looks hot and cute today! What Dizz said makes sense... since taemin is in superm, he needs to control his power so he doesn't stand out. He doesn't let his power out. I remember when superm concert 1sr hapened, a lot of ppl were saying how their eyes were drawn to him bc he was just captivating. But as time pass, he he tried to not stand out much in superm which makes sense. I would love to see your reaction on Black rose (the stage), and Criminal (the stage). They r stunning! You won't regret

[@sindahat7451]

I totally agree with Dizz, I think Taemin shines the most on his own. I enjoy SHINee and Super M too, but they do represent a different aesthetic and sound. Seeing how dark and creative he can be on his own makes it kind of hard to then watch him pong back to a boy group type vibe. It's also funny because based on interviews, it seem like he enjoys group activities more...maybe not on a creative level but certainly on a day to day level. Sounds like it can be lonely as a solo.

[@sarahasrock]

I agree! I wonder if it also seems weird because solo is the ultimate goal of western artists and groups are seen as a stepping stone... think JT, Beyoncé, Zayn or Harry Styles. I think that assumption is both true and untrue. Groups can be more popular and just bring in more money - likely how Kpop operates, but they do seem less sustainable and freely creative in the long run. For whatever reason the “boy/girl group” aesthetic doesn’t work the same way when members are grown up (Backstreet Boys.. Boys to Men... etc). Maybe it feels disingenuous at some point, like a true artist would want total creative freedom from the constraints and shiny commercial veneer of a pop group.

[@shalynthia]

@@Alykia Yes!! 5hinee is kind of crazy. We figured SM just let’s them do what they want. They’ve literally said the same thing themselves. Ever since the Sherlock album, they’ve broken through. It’s not everyday you get to resign your contract under your own terms. Only SHINee, Boa and Dbsk have done that. Just wait until they come out with another album or song. It’s gonna be fire.

[@Brilleetoile]

Nah, he's perfectly fine with Shinee, girl what are you on ? Even his vocal is his group's signature

[@mel_liz19]

He shines with Shinee and he has developed his talent with his original group. I believe he said in an interview that he was originally eyeing performing solo but in those times SM are more into debuting groups. He eventually loved being in a group but he still has the desires to go solo and the opportunity was given to him and I believe it was the right time for him to do so. I feel that Taemin really wants a solo career because he wants to work on his music and what he wants to express thru it. I'm not sad that he is in SuperM bcoz it's a great group and he enjoys his time with them yeah SM wants to form a super group and of course he has to be a part of it but Taemin is born to be a solo star. He divides his time over these two activities, he really works hard to make Super M great and to make his solo goals come to life. I do truly wish he releases more solo songs soon.

with the sudden rise of kpop in the US. it's sad this comeback didn't get the attention it deserved. the US would probably really love taemin's dark concepts and unique styles. but I'm sure he's more than content with the success he already has as a soloist and with shinee and super M. absolutely nobody in the kpop industry is even close to being on taemin's level and that's on that

[@emilybainbridge6852]

I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction (was waiting for it). Dizz I kind of actually agree with you about Taemin in Superm. LIke he brings it for sure, but to me it all feels like he is holding back because he is in a group, which shows his commitment and ability to switch, but it makes me want him to shine more like in his solos. All the members of SuperM are excellent OF COURSE, but like when SuperM did SuperCar live performance his "Vroom" part went viral because he exploded the performance and that's his potential, but I don't think he's able to show that potential as much in SuperM. Like Zak said, he feels free in his solos and in SHINee, but more restricted elsewhere. Again, only opinions, but I really resonated with what you said. You all should watch/react to his live performance of "Black Rose" ( a b-side) as well-truly an amazing performance. Love you guys!

[@ninawilliams9647]

I'm never gonna dance again my ass! I felt the world go in reverse and it shook me to the core. Zak you have got to react NO! let me say it this way we need to see you react to taemins live performance of his new song black rose. It is sensual, sexy and soul snatching.

He was involved at every single thing about this album and also please stay tuned for NGDA: act 2 🤩 I'm also excited for your album 😌👀

[@roserain7034]

When Monroe screamed at the "Destory Me More", I felt that! The most interesting part about this lyrics is how it also sound like "Run Away" in Korean which fits the point of the song, Stockholm Syndrome. The victim starts to sympathize with their captive despite what he have done to them when, in reality, they should be running away.

[@roserain7034]

The thing about Taemin, he can be sensual without doing much! That's what sets him apart from others. He is sexy without going all crazy! It's subtle, elegant but somehow goes hard.

[@LeeDee5]

I believe no one ever before this video has ever called a piece of sheet metal "sexy". The power of Taemin.

[@beannieswife1800]

I really feel what dizz said of taemin being part of superm, and in my case it’s not only with him, I feel like all the members are too much for a group at all, LIKE, ALL OF THEM DONT GET TO SHINE AT THEIR WHOLE CAPABILITY, and it shows more with some members, like ten or lucas, or in this case taemin,,, my point is= THEY HAVE SO MUCH TALENT THAT IT FEELS SOMEHOW WEIRD, LMAO IDK I CANT EXPLAIN MYSELF😔😭😭😭

[@mariapaulas199]

Personally I think is more because they SM/Capitol Records are not USING their full potential :( It is not only having talented people, it is knowing what concepts to use, how to reach the public,etc... Like their first concept (trailers) was pretty good, and after it went a little... down? And I don't even want to talk about the bad organization and mistakes that SM has made...They could do even more amazing if they know how to make everyone and their skills shine better

[@beannieswife1800]

@@mariapaulas199 yesss!! I always mean it like that, it’s not their fault, my point was that with members of their quality in a group they could do sooooo many things, like ten is one of the best dancers EVER, and he doesn’t get that much of centers in the choreos for example, like bruuuh, what are you doooing,, and the mvs :(( geeez the last ones were all inside doors, like, sm is part of the big 3, they can spend a lil more on that, and it’s not that I want a whole expensive comeback but, the management they provide for such of high quality artists they have,,, is just not it :/, in my opinion, but I support them and love them literally for their talent, not the label, not the MV, so yeah, let’s keep supporting them well😞cause that’s all we can do

[@mariapaulas199]

@@beannieswife1800 sameeee ;-; I get super frustrated sometimes with the whole comeback. They could do something amazing with the full potential of the members. The Pre single 100 (that to me was not necessary, the mv could have been better bc the song is not bad but...) then Tiger Inside that is a great song but I was expecting something amazing for the MV, like a forest or temple, is not bad but again, could have been better) and then again with 'One'. Not going to lie, I got a little more excited with all the trailers mixed at the end ;-; Talking about Ten, at least in 'One' he had more lines and he shined a little more there

[@NelleBear]

Same. As a Kai fan it is very frustrating as he gets some of the least amount of center time and lines in each SuperM song. Like if Kai is not your clear main dancer and center....why even have him in the group? The idea of having a bunch of centers and main/lead dancers in a group sounds like a good idea until you realize that they really don't get to shine individually bc everyone has to have their part in the middle.

Taemin is unique, admired by so many in the industry, his music is so good. I am so glad that I found out about SHINee and of course Taemin this year.

[@firefly19690]

I love Taemin in SHINee and Super M, but as a soloist his artistry really shines. His personal style is very different from the boy group vibe. Taemin embodies a very dark, sensual, sexy underbelly and he brings it out for all to see or hints at it in both subtle and dramatic ways. . Everything about him screams sensuality and sex, with soul stealing and seering gazes that pierce to the very center of your being. Then there's soft Taemin. Still sensual, but rocking the vocals in a soft and smooth sultry way or belting out those high notes and putting every single fiber of his being into it. But seriously, no matter what style of himself he is presenting, there is an absolute artistry to it. He is performing, expressing and perfecting his art. There are always layers of meaning to his music and often more than one way to interpret it. But I have to say ...when he is performing, I fiercely love dark Taemin. Lol I am so looking forward to Act 2 and am very hopeful for a full view of his rumored side tattoo. 👍 I highly recommend watching Criminal with the subtitles on. I think the only way to completely appreciate Taemin's art is to experience all aspects of it. Thank you so much for the reaction! I have been waiting impatiently since day 1. Lol

[@stephanieroseatienza5117]

I agree, I didn't feel Taemin in SuperM. In an mv too, maybe because they were 7 of them to focus on. But with the video of their SuperM performance you know he shines. Why? Because 95% of the comment are all about Taemin. Two of those are I can't stand the rain and one (infinity and monster). Their is something on him that when he perfoms you can't take your eyes on him.

[@milindawilson9175]

"Criminal" is part of Taemin's 3rd Korean solo album called Never Gonna Dance Again. It is part of a trilogy which starts with his prologue "2 Kids" and continues with "Criminal" which is part of Act 1 of the album. He will release Act 2 next -- we are still waiting to see what the next piece will be. As Taemin said in an interview: "The two acts put together tell a story. ‘2 Kids’ is about growing pains and depicts the story prior to the story in the album. You can think of "2 Kids" as a teaser before the movie called 'Never Gonna Dance Again.' Act 1 shows a new side of me. I think it’ll be something you’ve never seen in K-pop before. And Act 2 is the end-all-be-all. It’s the ultimate level of intensity. Never Gonna Dance Again’ was originally the name of the concept. Because it doesn’t make sense for me to stop dancing. But I wanted to give a sense of rebellion with the irony of the title.” When you watch the MV with the English subs on you will see that Taemin is not the criminal in the song. He is being held captive by the criminal who is the girl he is singing about. The song is about living in a toxic relationship and being brainwashed by the girl to the point where you are suffering from stockholm syndrome and you have now fallen in love with the person who is inflicting all the pain and suffering on you. Even though you are being abused by that person you can't help but love them and allow them to continue to hurt you, etc. :D To really appreciate the choreography in "Criminal" you have to watch Taemin's dance practice for the song. You will be even more blown away when you see the dance in its entirety without any cuts. This choreography is truly Taemin at his best.

Hi, I’m sure you’ve seen by now tearful announcement of him leaving May 31. I was hoping he would be leaving sometime in June or near his birthday in July.

[@caroleng1190]

Would you like to help???

[@milindawilson9175]

@@caroleng1190 Of course I am still Taemin's fan. I'm an eternal Shawol, there is nothing that would ever make me stop supporting him or any of the members. As for Taemin's enlistment date, I'm happy for him. Go get it done with is how I feel. He will only be gone for a year and a half or maybe even less with the pandemic making it so they are unable to use their vacation time. And besides, Taemin is one of the most high profile celebrities that will be enlisted at the moment, so I am sure we will get plenty of footage of him while he is in the military. Military service is actually looked at as a big honor, and although Idols are sad to have to leave fans and take a break from their careers, they embrace their service as a duty to their country and a right of passage. But most of the time entertainers are not just serving like a regular soldier, often they petition to be part of activities that keep them working in entertainment type jobs. For example, Onew spent his time serving on the military's promotional team performing in musical productions of plays based on a military themed story, alongside several other Kpop stars who were also serving at the same time. And Key auditioned to be a part of the military marching band/orchestra so he spent his time as a percussionist, vocalist and MC for public events or performing as part of the entertainment during military events. And Minho, who is known for being one of the top athletes, served in an elite branch of the Marines where he became a decorated leader and one of the top members of his unit. However, we also were able to see Minho participate in military events and even soccer matches while serving. So, even while they are away , if you search KZbin, you can find fancam videos of most of them, where members of the public during special events have recorded the Idols as they are performing, etc. So, we usually still get plenty of content from them, even when they are on hiatus. :D I am sure we will have tons of videos of Taemin while in the military. I'm not sure what kind of help you are looking for or if I really can be of much help. But give me some more details and I can see what I can do.

@@caroleng1190 The mailing address I could find on the website is SM Entertainment central office 648, Samsung-ro (52-1, Samseong-dong), Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 135906. However, I have no idea whether this is where you should send fan mail to. SM owns several properties and there are tons of addresses listed for them, so I am not sure what the best address is. I'm afraid I don't know much more than you, when it comes to this topic.

Dizz's face while Zak was explaining what Taemin is to him is priceless. Yes, Dizz was listening and saying so much at the same time. Lovin' it. You guys were all so deep in it. It was like you were all studying him. The respect you have for him is palpable. Thank you!

[@bell1238]

[@harinc4976]

You guys absolutely look gorgeous. And I'm really happy to see Taemin today. Been waiting waiting. When I watch this mv I was worried wether he can do well on stages but he killed it. Thats why I love him and fans are waiting waiting for his concerts sooner. He truely shines on the stages.

[@beannieswife1800]

YASSSS, ya’ll are my favourite taemin stans😭🖤 for real, thanks for the reaction

[@blythegraham9446]

"...with a good polish" ZAK I SCREAMED LMAO (you looking extra good with that haircut tho)

[@vlite7215]

Taemin is the definition of expression. He is at the pinnacle of performing arts and it SHOWS.

[@kaberisen7132]

Teamin is so enigmatic, sensual but in a very sofisticated way...most awaited and loved reactions from you. Thank you so much😍😊

[@DiamondsLastever]

I dono how much days i have to wait for taemin's black Rose😂😂💝 reaction

[@blythegraham9446]

monroe closes her eyes, and when she opens them it's the "destroy me more" part. lmao monroe you okay honey (I LOVE YOU)

[@terrenceescarda8951]

this is what i like about the four of you, the humor in the reaction part.

[@blythegraham9446]

you ALL are killing the fashion game here.

[@drenkard]

I’m glad you reacted to Taemin’s Criminal. Taemin’s sound and movement - his style - iconic.

[@jazp5829]

YAYY always appreciating yalls hard work and beautiful personalities. Also the insanity that somehow always ends up happening at the end HAHAHA ❤️❤️

[@Bpminnie]

Taemin’s Criminal dance practice and live performance is so satisfying and Black Rose performance too. Taemin’s new album is so good, the vocals. Be it vocals, dance, performance, expression and his aura, Taemin is the standard. There’s a reason why Taemin has so many idol fans in the industry naming him as their role model.

[@muazzamasaidova9318]

OMG! Finally! I'm crying! I've been waiting for this reaction for 12 years in Azkaban! Thank you, I love your reacts so much more and thank you so much for such amazing words about our KING Taemin!!!!!

[@lykaemeterio6496]

The best reaction so far. Number 1 ofc because of taemin but also with the vibes you gave us guys, it seems that you really enjoy this episode, and I am glad to see that😍

[@ynjordanc]

Had been waiting for this yesss!!!

[@ghostlines]

Taemin exudes sensuality and elegance in his performances 🖤 Showed this to my friend and she agreed too hahaha, really enjoy watching you guys' videos :D

[@Auntie67]

I totally agree with Dizz - I prefer Taemin solo over Taemin in SuperM any time and any place! Taemin solo is unmatched and his music, his own vibe is 1000% my thing. In SuperM he brings a lot of quality and color to the group’s vocals and overall vibe, but he doesn’t show his full potential. It’s like an artist of such a caliber shouldn’t be reduced to couple of lines and I feel like because it’s a group of 7 people where each of them needs a moment to shine naturally all of them have moments where they are in the background. Well, in my opinion Taemin should never be in the background, he belongs to the spotlight only!!!

[@pratibha10]

I am living for Dizz''s space knots!!!! Love you all!!!

[@someone6562]

Thank you so much guys 🥰❤️ The theme of the song is Stockholm syndrome! From my understanding, there were two sides of Taemin. The Taemin infatuated with his kidnapper, and actual criminal Taemin. Those lyrics ya’ll... raw stuff. Anyway, Taemin put a lot of his input and directory into this so it’s very important to him. It’s such a masterpiece, I hope it gets more praise! 💖✨

[@SoWhatNOWhuh]

I totally agree with Dizz. Taemin really shine as soloist and SHINee

[@llwaad443]

ZAK looks amazing like always.. i love him so much 🥺😔❤️❤️❤️

[@KirbStompYT1]

Ok but zak seriously... I’m love this look so much rn💕💕💕💕 like period honey👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@LH-hq7hg]

finally, it's been 84 years... :)

[@t-hai6565]

This man is amazing and no one can deny it... Thank you so much for honoring him!🥺 Waiting for Advice reaction!! 🙏🏻🥰

[@anirax5633]

First off, I completely agree with Dizz. SuperM are amazing, but Taemin really does shine way more in his solo work! I love them of course, but honestly Taemin is on a whole other level(this isn't hate on the group or other members) And secondly, y'all always look so good, but I could not stop looking at Zak during this video. Like damn! Surprised I haven't seen more comments about it lol

[@dbflsk09]

dizz i totally respect your honest opinion. this is why we watch your videos! keep up with the realness

[@helenzerai5476]

omgg they'd be on the floor if they saw his live performance of this

[@camilabasualto6650]

I was waiting for this reaction so much!!!! Thank you! Taemin is KING

[@A9.8sa]

I very agree with Dizz I have seen many youtuber reactions to criminal, and alot of them were like Oh we know that taemin is a member of super M but we didn’t think that he was with such a huge talent!!

[@evandarianmai9753]

Hilarious! Glad you liked it, what a comeback! Love you all!

[@camronmoheng1157]

Monroe's gasp before the Taemin whisper should be in the actual song it was perfect!!!

[@mari_arix4357]

YES KING TAEMIN!! I really love and admire him so thank you for reacting! If you are looking for a new group a new 9 member boy group called Ghost9 just debuted with Think of Dawn!!❤

[@blythegraham9446]

YALL IM BEGGING FOR A REACTION TO IDEA!!!!!! I!!!!AM!!!! BEGGGING!!! i can't lose my mind alone, i need u

[@lvnsuji5672]

I KNEW I COULD TRUST Y'ALL

I totally agree with Dizz, I prefer Taemin solo, he shines so brightly and he's so unique and authentic.

[@ChiariPTCSongbird]

I'm with Dizz, with absolute respect to the members of Super M (because we all know they're amazing), I feel Taemin is wasted in Super M. If you didn't KNOW him, I'm not sure you'd realize just who he is or how incredible he really is if all you knew was Super M. Shinee is home for him & it feels right when he's there, but solo he's just on Planet Taemin & even though it freaks me out a tiny bit realizing that precious lil maknae is a full grown BEAST....its just facts.

[@__zyan8525]

I love everything you said here ❤️

[@vedac.9288]

You guys are too funny!! I loved your reaction, but the chat afterwards was hilarious!! And I am loving the new take and sound of "playlist or nah"! You better harmonize!! Love y'all and Monroe's $2.99 boots!😅😘❤

[@bea_hae_tae9392]

TAEMIN multitalent,BEST SOLO ARTIST SM💗💗💗Taemin is phenomenal, his art is simply mesmerising!!! I love everything about this video and this album is sensational as a whole! It's Act 1 and there will be Act 2 in the future, so for sure another MV with powerful performance (this is what he promised and he always keeps his promises). Taemin King!!💗💗💗I noticed after he pulls off his bindings he continues to keep putting his hands back together again throughout the video as if to say he can't get away from the bindings or toxic relationship he is in...it keeps pulling him back into it. This is brilliant! What a wonderful MV this is...visually, musically, artistically. It's a masterpiece! I absolutely love it!!!💗💗💗 LOVE song : WANT MOVE DANGER FAMOUS, ARTISTIC GROOVE SAYONARA HITORI ECLIPSE SEXUALITY FLAME OF LOVE STRANGERS Into The Rhythm BLACK ROSE 💗💗💗SHINee

[@caterinabandiera7529]

I love Taemin and he always gives us his all. I agree that Taemin is underrated and he deserves more recognition around the world. Apparently MTV USA wanted to show Criminal mv but SM dropped the ball and hadn’t done the legal paperwork. That was probably one of the reasons why Taemin was upset because of lack of promotion, so he asked his fans to promote for him.

[@marian8304]

Whenever they react to Taemin someone says Michael Jackson, I love that he is at that level of professionalism and I love the affection they have for him as well as for SHINee even if he does not understand much English I love your reactions, a hug from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@ce51snehavs71]

criminal is the first ever video of Taemin and i fell head over heel for him and the lyrics are like uhhhhgg GOD it is sooooooo good

[@madisonmccrindle5171]

Omg I’ve been waiting for this😍😍😍

[@lei6v636]

Yes waiting for this!! Thank you riverse for loving Taemin! He is very talented very proud of him!! Love Taeminnie so much!!
